One week from this moment. That's how long I've had this cold. Just so you know.
All right, moving on. I read this poem for Italian class tonight, and I think it's actually quite interesting. Here is a snippet:
"Odio chi m'ama, ed amo chi mi sprezza.
. . . Così ne la tua scuola, Amor, si face
sempre il contrario di quel ch'egli è degno:
l'umil si sprezza, e l'empio si compiace."
I love the openness of this poem. I love that it tells a truth, and doesn't really agree or disagree with it. The narrator is just resigned that this is the way Love goes. I hate those who love me and love those who despise me. It's so very sad. But, she says, this is just the way it goes — you want what you can't have, and don't truly appreciate what is in front of you. It's definitely a lesson to think about as we go about our lives, meeting new friends, reconnecting with old ones, and loving life.
Remember to always look for your own sunshine. . .
